Every professional ballet dancer attends a daily class to prepare their bodies for the rehearsals and performances ahead. We captured The Royal Ballet in class back in 2012 and you can watch the full class or a short version here.

Make sure you watch the live stream to see The Royal Ballet warming up on World Ballet Day.

See Carlos Acosta coaching Vadim Muntagirov in the role of Basilio from Don Quixote. Check out our Behind the Scenes footage from the 2013 performance, including rehearsal footage and interviews with cast and crew.

Royal Ballet dancers Roberta Marquez, Melissa Hamilton and Federico Bonelli - and contemporary dancer Aakash Odedra - have been filmed with super slow-motion cameras to show the nuances of balletic technique in great detail.
